Funny, because they have lost me as a customer by cutting the Wii U lifespan short. 3DS is fine to replace because Nintendo have been excellent with their support of that, and although Wii u has had great games, I still think Nintendo could have done better with it. I am certainly not satisfied with a 4 year lifespan consisting of huge game droughts, it doesn't have me bursting to own an NX, and I'm sure there are others that feel this way. |
If they're smart they have a countdown clock until NX launches in Nintendo headquarters. And that clock hits zero holiday season of 2016. 3DS is being clowned by smartphones at every turn and Wii U isn't lighting the world on fire with sales. Keeping them around for longer than 2 years would be disastrous. It might mean losing customers who feel a way about Wii U, but they can't just keep pumping out games to appease a few disgruntled people and lose money.
I hope it comes and I hope it comes next year. I had a blast with Wii U and I'm ready to move on. If the games are as fun as they were with Wii U then it'll be nothing but good times.
